tkbslc, "massive bars" are negative, but if you spin that the right way you can turn a defect into a exciting new feature. Let's call it Auto-Frame.

New Feature Announcement -- "Auto-Frame...

My definition as well. I purchased a Fuji XT-2 and a few lenses because I needed to upgrade my digital equipment but more specifically for a trip to Italy. The system worked well for shooting...

I think calling the iPhone 11's 3rd lens a telephoto is a stretch even if it did meet the true definition of a telephoto lens. An angle of view equivalent to 52mm in 35mm format, is a "normal"...

Agreed. When I purchased Luminar about 3 years ago, the company was promising a DAM solution "soon." Time passed and when the DAM arrived in version 3 it was very under-featured. No ability to...

Thanks. I didn't realize they built the pinholes around sensor size. Makes sense, although attaching extension tubes or a bellows make the whole thing a bit unwieldy.

I purchased the original and discovered what @Gesture described above. To achieve optimal focus, the pinhole needs to be a specific distance from the film plane. Varying the pinhole sizes via the...

Hi Chris. The story is more complex. In the year 2000, both companies had sales of approximately 14 billion US dollars. However, film and cameras only accounted for 34% of Fuji's revenue (470...

Laying the blame for Kodak's demise on the short-sightedness of accountants, sales people, top management or anyone else is just too simplistic. Kodak earned an 80% gross margin on film and...

Portability and the fact that it's a bit hard to find a tripod large enough :)

Waiter, there's a fly in my fish.

It's more than an issue of public safety. There's also the issue of respecting the rights of other people.

The people that went to the stadium that day went to enjoy themselves and paid for...

I'm sorry things didn't go well for you. I'm not defending any of the manufacturers that burned you, but it's important to remember that Kickstarter and Indiegogo are places where people...

This seems OK if you only use one filter. In my opinion, Manfrotto makes a better system called Xume. It uses magnets to hold a filter in place on the front of the lens. The Xume filter system is...

Actually, I think the name Pentax came from the merger of the words "Pentaprism" and "Contax". The "Pentax" brand name was purchased by Asahi from Zeiss Ikon.

That edition comes with dust from ground up mummies on the sensor.

@TMY I would love to give type 55 a try. I've heard many people speak in rapturous tones about it. There is a company that sell a product called "New55" as 4x5 sheet film but they are selling it...

I'm just guessing on this... Polaroid film has two main components --1) a film stock covered with light sensitive silver halide material and 2) a pod containing both developer and fixer that will...

Yup, I just looked at the Tric video/web site listed above and the Tric is not a TTL solution. That means you need to manually adjust the flash output. OK, so now you have to take flash pictures...

The article doesn't provide specific information about what is being patented. A lens turret in itself is not new, so any patent claims the inventor is making will be much more narrow -- perhaps...

You can absolutely write it off as a business expense. I'd recommend that you bring a six pack to your IRS audit meeting as well. It will ease the pain of the penalty. LOL.
